Snowbound Seduction (2010)
“The walkers, Angel included, were determined to make the most of the snow and had gone outside to build a couple of igloos. Angel had tried to rope Zac in but eventually admitted defeat when he refused to budge from where he and Rachel were ensconced in two comfortable armchairs close to the roaring fire in the inn’s lounge, a couple of drinks at their elbows.
It was very pleasant in the ancient old inn. A gently benign grandfather clock ticked away in one corner and the logs on the fire splutt...ered and crackled now and again, a perfect antidote to the gently falling snow outside the windows. Whether it was the cosiness of the afternoon or the fact he’d opened up a little to her the night before Rachel didn’t know, but after they’d talked about this and that for a while, Zac began to talk about deeper issues—his marriage, the dark, dangerous time when he’d lost his way after Moira’s death, other painful, bitter truths.
Rachel listened, knowing instinctively he rarely—if ever—revealed himself in this way, and in the mellow quietness she found it easy to talk too, about her cold, confusing childhood, the dawning knowledge that she was in a family but not part of it, her loneliness and fear that had accompanied her into adulthood and why her past had made the episode with Giles so devastating.MoreLess
